This is on that you very seldom get a chance to own. It is a very attractive Confederate staff officer's coat button. It has the eagle with the "droop" style down turned wings. In the shield on the eagle's chest you can clearly see the large shield with the bold "CSA' letters. As you can see there is a beautiful amount of the original gold gilding on the button face down in the protected areas. The eagle is on a lined background and around the edges it has 11 six pointed stars. This is the pattern that is listed as CS1 in Albert's button book and as CS201a2 in Tice's button book. This is one of the most beautiful of all Civil War production Confederate buttons. This style adorned many of the coats of the highest ranking Southern leaders. The reverse of this button has the original shank intact. It has the desirable maker's mark of "S. ISAACS CAMPBELL & CO LONDON ST. JAMES ST". They were quality maker's in England where it was manufactured and sold it to southern retailers so it could be purchased by a Southern officer. This is a beauty! Item #: B8972 Shipping Weight:
